Appearance

In most scenes Jiro hides her face behind a twin-filtered gas mask, paired with a hood marked by a stitched numeral two, the character read as ji, meaning next or following. Pull the hood back and a rounded bob comes into view, framing hair of a soft auburn shade.

Personality

Mischief runs strong in Jiro, and she readily joins her brothers in ribbing Banjou or starts the teasing herself. Underneath that lightness sits a genuinely caring and straightforward streak, which she and her siblings show most clearly when it comes to Banjou, holding to it even around people they barely know.

History

Jiro entered the story as one of Banjou's devoted companions from the eleventh ward, accompanying him with Ichimi and Sante on a visit to Anteiku. After Kaneki accidentally knocked Banjou out, the siblings explained his one-sided love for Rize Kamishiro and how he had tried to steer the local ghouls, voicing their resentment at the Aogiri Tree members who seized control of the district. When the group was captured, Jiro took part in the breakout as part of Anti-Aogiri, cutting down a guard who triggered the alarm and staying behind with Banjou and Kaneki to hold off the Bin brothers. Recaptured after Yamori intercepted the escapees, the siblings were later freed during the eleventh ward battle and followed Banjou into Kaneki's group.

As members of that group, the trio helped hunt for Akihiro Kanou, slipping into the Ghoul Restaurant dressed as cleaners and clashing with Gagi and Guge, first over Taguchi and again inside Kanou's lab. Being a ghoul, Jiro has strong physical capability, and she and her brothers hold their own in close combat. After the Owl Suppression Operation and the dissolution of Kaneki's group, they pledged to keep following Banjou wherever he went. In the epilogue, Jiro marries Banjou, with Tsukiyama arranging a traditional ghoul wedding for the couple.
